To compare the fractions trimmed by Duncan and Edgar, we first need to convert their fractions to have a common denominator.

Duncan trimmed 1/10 of his bushes, which can be written as 3/30.
Edgar trimmed 2/3 of his bushes, which can be written as 20/30.

Therefore, Duncan trimmed 3/30 of his bushes and Edgar trimmed 20/30 of his bushes.

Comparing the fractions, we can see that Edgar trimmed a greater fraction of his bushes.
